Dead Island 2

Dead Island 2 is a sequel to the original action RPG/multiplayer game released back in 2011. A couple of months after Dead Island, California has been placed under full quarantine after an even worse Zombie outbreak arrived on U.S. shores. Players will take control of a character living in the middle of this new apocalypse and fight to survive with - and against - other people as all of Los Angeles and San Francisco turn into a zombie-slaying playground. New to the franchise is also an eight-player multiplayer co-op mode where they can tackle the chaotic events of the game together.
